In today's Consumer Countdown, analysts Michael Finarelli and Sean O'Reilly take a look at the big headlines in the consumer goods sector from the past few days. First they take a look at PepsiCo's (PEP 0.26%) earnings and compare them to main competitor Coca-Cola (KO 0.64%). Then they look at eBay (EBAY 1.18%), which sold off heavily following its earnings announcement, and discuss whether the sell-off is justified.
After that, Mike analyzes Stanley Black & Decker (SWK 1.05%), which is down 15% over the last two days thanks to lowered guidance, to see if he thinks the guidance is warranted. And last but not least, Sean looks ahead at Mattel's (MAT 1.78%) holiday season.
